Learn more about the experience of working with George by reading the following client testimonials.
“When you’re working with sales organizations, the good news is that they’re motivated and hard charging. The bad news is that they cannot identify what’s working for them and what is not. George is able to take the best of sales and create a plan that the team says YES to and then hold them accountable to that plan.
Insightful and committed, George has an OD perspective while having a thorough understanding of sales people. His ability to work within an organization without creating more conflict is a very good skill to have."

“George is very good at influencing people and our company benefitted as a result. Whether motivating his peers or working on the big picture at executive level, people valued his opinion and what he brought to the table. He was able to share the importance as to why we were implementing new initiatives and communicated “the why” in a way that motivated all of us. “

“Expert at collaboration, George thinks about the big picture and how the work that he is doing fits into the larger view. He knows exactly who needs to be involved. He’s very good at crossing his t’s and dotting his i’s, from the people point of view.
The company benefited from his first quality work and his inspiring ways of doing things. For example, during the company’s transition, he helped work out a solution for a very sensitive, highly visible issue. George took the lead and came up with creative, innovative ways to solve the problem while being fair. He also knew how to present his solutions so that it was easy to get buy-in from the team.”

"The #1 question to ask George is “Have you done this before?”. The answer is “YES, he has! He has been there, walked the talk, and has been a successful sales person. He has been a leader in a large organization, developing sales teams through profiling successful sales people. George added a great deal of benefit to the company by creating programs that helped us learn how to acquire and retain and develop sales people.”
